Chose Workvivo
The interface is more simple and meant for the purpose of communication. Though the product misses on the aspect of one on one chat, the main purpose of communicating to group all together is handled well through the software. Employees are more engaging when they see …
Chose Workvivo
Every other similar platform was riddled with internal errors and caching issues. Microsoft is far too expansive to dive into blind unless you know exactly what you're looking for. Workvivo allows you to see everything happening in real-time and go from there.
Chose Workvivo
Not quite the same level of interaction- the 'fun' aspect is lost on other applications
Chose Workvivo
I used a similar tool in South Africa while working for WesBank, I cannot remember the name, but Workvivo is a lot more interactive and a lot more popular with staff.
Chose Workvivo
The layout is better organized and intuitive, easier to use. It has a wall where everyone can share different information. It combines all necessary features for involvement of all the people within the company. I like in Workvivo that it serves as platform where you can show …
Chose Workvivo
Workvivo chose to create a collaboration platform that is responsive and respects each person's identity & contributions. Workvivo serves virtual employees at whatever level of engagement they are and help them stay connected, included, and most important of all, respected for …

Microsoft
It is best suited for quickly finding answers and tracking them to where they need to go. A scenario where it is less appropriate may be something like a credit application, and overall contacting customers/residents. While it offers enterprise level security, that is likely not end-to-end when communicating with someone external. Also, for large files, I think Outlook is much better suited. I would also like to see a "shared files/links" section similar to iMessage on Apple devices so that you don't need to search chats for answers

  • Aligning activity to Company Culture and Activities.
  • DIrectly engaging with employees in real time.
  • The Workvivo app is very advanced and offers a great experience, as does the desktop version.
  • The bi-lingual capabilities (English/Arabic) have been a great advantage, something we couldn't find in any of the other tools on the market.

Cons
Microsoft
  • Microsoft Teams does rely on internet quality, so If you are needing information on found in Teams and your internet is down or choppy, you wont be able to access those files unlike if they were stored directly on your computer or network.
  • Some of the user interface of Microsoft Teams is not user friendly, it can take a long time to figure out how to use some tool even if you are using the help or troubleshooting.
  • Some of the Microsoft Teams features are limited to anyone using the free version vs. paid. With the paid, you have more storage, more video time, more tools. It would be nice to see the free version have the same features and ability.

Microsoft Teams is included with our Office 365 subscription and we have no intention of migrating off of Office 365 and Microsoft products. Since Microsoft Teams is included for free with our Office 365 subscription, and since we enjoy all the features, benefits, and functionality, there is no question that our team will continue to use the product

To my best friend Workvivo, I would like to give 10/10. Everything is running smoothly. I feel glad when people at my workplace from other departments and also from other shifts recognise me with my name. That gives me inner peace. I am feeling blissful. I am on the moon.

Usability
Microsoft
Microsoft Team is quite simple to use, once you understand how it works. However, I find that explaining its use to a new user requires more software expertise than comparable software. Efficient use of the software is also not fast. Moreover, adding components requires a learning curve which also complicates its use for a person unfamiliar with the environment.

Support Rating
Microsoft
The overall support provided by Microsoft for Microsoft Teams has been quite good but there is still some room for improvements. Microsoft needs to proactively work on fixing the open bugs in order to provide a seamless experience to the users. But over the service and experience provided by the Microsoft team have been quite satisfactory.

All the things were explained in an effective way. Easy to understand the tools, features, their use, implementation. Monitoring & support wherever required. Feedback was recorded & improvements were done wherever required to improve the coaching experience. Knowledge checks were taken to understand understanding levels. Overall experience was very well with the training.

Alternatives Considered

We chose primarily because of the promised integration with the Microsoft Business Suite - which it mostly delivers on. That does give Teams an obvious advantage over competitors. IMHO Teams has a richer, more mature feature set, and the experience is more reliable and stable. Although like any of there there is room for imporvement.

This helps my everyday office work. It is a kind of social media environment for offices where we can share thoughts. We can also share our ideas which can be helpful to other colleagues. We also get updates on recent news on what's happening in the LOB. Also, we do have an option to take a voting polling on whatever we want. Additionally, It also helps us connect with our official resources. We share our personal observations there a post which can be seen worldwide in our organization. This has been the greatest of all time since I saw any employee-related portal in any organization!!!!!

Honestly, this tool is worth every penny. Yes, it's not free and you pay for the quality of services and the license. But the ROI and the benefits are all there. Also, the renewal, negotiation, and contract terms are all very well explained by our Microsoft account manager, and she's a charm.

I used Skype for Business to take calls, hold conferences, and provide remote assistance to users. Microsoft Teams, on the other hand, is superior to Skype for Business in my opinion. My job entails a lot of screen sharing.

Return on Investment
Microsoft
  • I'm not sure I can point to a specific ROI, but it has improved our ability to communicate and work more effectively together.
  • It's also nice to have records of every interaction, photo, and document that has been shared. Less chance of something completely disappearing.
